Intended for all the usual electrostatic experiments, but especially
where continuous production of a high voltage is required. They have Perspex insulating components, rubber belt, polished
metal dome and a separate discharging sphere. The low voltage powered model is designed for operation on a 3 to 5V D.C.
supply, capable of providing a current of 1.5A. Power input is via a pair of colour coded 4mm sockets. Mains operated
versions are provided with 1.5m of three core mains cable, the earth core of the mains lead being connected to the metal
structure of the apparatus. Both low voltage and mains versions also have independent 4mm earth sockets. GENERAL
SPECIFICATION: Charge collecting belt flexible rubber charge collecting combs aluminium mesh, aluminium dome of 175mm
